‘5’ Things to know about Kayaking

Kayaking is one of the most famous water activities for all those who want to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.
A good kayaker requires strength, courage, quick response, good coordination, precise and calm calculation. For beginners, it is advisable to resort to the help of more experienced people or instructors to take a basic course of training.

There are some things I feel everyone should know when going Sea kayaking. However, here are the following 5 things that everyone must know before Kayaking:-

1) You will get wet: — When you paddle, there is water in the paddle and kayak. So, you will wet and should plan on wearing something appropriate accordingly.

2) You must have a life jacket: — You do not have to wear a life jacket the whole time but I highly recommend taking it to the kayak.

3) I do not recommend Whitewater Rapids for beginners: — Some places have rapids, but I do not recommend them especially for beginners, as this allows you to swim with fish!

4) Hold the paddle properly: — A kayak paddle is different from a canoe paddle. Use two hands, shoulder length, with an overhand grip on the paddle shaft. Do not submerge the paddle blade directly in water; Rather, use an angled dip with the blade just below the surface.

5) Wear bright clothing for protection: — If you are paddling on a water where a motorized boat travels (like a lake), wear bright clothes. A canker sits very low on the water, making it difficult for large boats to see you. Bright clothes (and a bright kayak) are an important safety measure to ensure that you are as visible as possible from there. Also consider the kayak visibility flag.
